@ebriff24@Leonajardinho "Good bye" to you too.
Do you even know what that means?
"Bye" on it's own is essentially meaningless, it requires "good" to make any sense.
@am_na@omgsidewalks Dude, if you think Google, Amazon, Facebook, Nvidia, .....
Made their owners billionaires via lobbying, you're just delusional.
AFTER those companies had become huge - maybe not as big as they are now - they started lobbying. They couldn't afford it until then.
@HawkEmDownChris Delivering the Palo Alto Times daily except Sunday, age 12-13. Then dishwasher at a lunch cafe on Saturday, age 14. Then a delicatessen part time and all day Saturday, age 16. The longest period when I have been out of work occured age 61, for 6 months. Got bored, back at it.
@ebriff24@Leonajardinho So, your solution to your problems is to complain?

@zahrafatma1278 Not a single one of them is anything like beautiful, in the way that Bella Hadid, or maybe Anne Hathaway, or Naomi Campbell is/was.

@am_na@omgsidewalks Nonsense. More grievance mindset than fact.
Most billionaires got very rich very fast mostly through good timing. Nothing more. So, a huge element of luck, then some good intuition and hard work.
It's not because they exploited anyone, or bribed anyone.
@xrob210x@1_flowerssss Potatoes are garbage food, as stated.
A food of last resort. Almost anything else is more nutritious, with the exception of white rice I guess, in any measurable way.
It's peasant food.
Stop feeding it to already obese children, watch them lose weight, effortlessly.
@ebriff24@Leonajardinho Things have always been changing.
In my lifetime
Women entered the workforce in large numbers.
Personal computers and the internet totally changed work.
Mortgage interest went to 18%
Manufacturing jobs disappeared, replaced by service and knowledge work.
This before 2000
